Because my daughter liked a previous book. I decided to another one to add to her collection.
I'm coming to love Lulu, this book's protagonist, because of her fondness for animals and her irrepressible spirit. When someone leaves a large orange cat in a bag, Lulu is quick to release the cat, much to her grandmother's chagrin.
This review also appears on my blog, Read-at-Home Mom. Lulu might love her animals, but her grandmother, Nan, who is staying with Lulu and her cousin Mellie while their parents take a trip, does not feel the same way.
I'm a cat lover (at least, I love my cat), so reading about all-around animal lover Lulu's episode with a stray, marigold cat (that some horrible, horrible person tied up in a bag) made my heart warm. I love that Lulu not only loves animals, she's smart with them, too.
Lulu is a magnet for pets. She collects them without even trying.
This third Lulu book continues the story of Lulu's love affair with any type of animal. In this story, a cat is dropped off on Lulu's doorstep in a bag.
